I find the comment above plugin_api in plugin.h a little confusing. It says to preserve backwards compatibility, add new plugin functions to the end of the structure. Why is the order in the struct important? Won't any dependent code get recompiled?

oh. one last question: will a sansa e200 work as a usb mass storage device (ie. i don't have to install any specific software to get my files onto the device: just drag'n'drop the flac files onto the device once it is hooked up to a usb port)?

for which parts of the tagcache api, it is reasonable, to make them accessible in the plugin api? i currently only use ..._search, _search_set_uniqbuf, _get_next and _search_finished, but made every method in tagcache.h "public" (which seems too much to me)

i'm having trouble compiling rockbox using ubuntu. it says : ../tools/configure: 1635: arm-elf-gcc: not found../tools/configure: 1639: arm-elf-ld: not foundWARNING: The compiler you must use (arm-elf-gcc) is not in your path!WARNING: this may cause your build to fail since we cannot do theWARNING: checks we want now.

I didn't look excessively thoroughly, but I couldn't find this in the manual. When I plug a USB cable into my Gigabeat, how to I stop it from going into USB mode? I want to charge it, while still using Rockbox.

The left and right channel never stay at separate levels, as far as I can tell, but they'll be there temporarily while the volume is changing. And it's a significant amount different, as much as 10-15db can go by before they pop back into sync

hanseatic: you can install a 'custom' build. Several people make a binary available of their own build with their own selection of patches. If you have a problem with such a build you can't ask questions about it here though.

when you extract, your extracting program should use the right folders (or you need to tell it to make them). When it's extracted, if it worked correctly, you should just end up with a .rockbox folder in the root, and then everything in folders inside of that

i messed something up while updating my .rockbox directory. now when i plug the sansa e280 in, nothing happens, it does not automount on the computer and does not appear to reboot into original FW. when i boot into org.FW the sansa mounts, but the .rockbox folder appears to be a write protected file system

hanseatic, really, if there are FAT errors, i recommend going into recovery mode and making an empty file called "sansa.fmt". this will remake the partitions and you can then reload music to your player.

i thought of using the recovery mode, but the sandisk recovery tool for windows said that would kill free subscription to some music download site, and the samples that where shipped with the device.... and i suppose also the warranty

thing is, it's my girlfriends, and i have a couple of weeks until she needs the device for a long jouney, so i check out if rockbox is somehow useful for her (im getting a little of topic here, sorry ;o))

and another one: after i installed RB the first time, auto-reboot into orgFW after plugging USB-connection in worked... i read about the issue, and that does not. is there any way/reason making it work?

rockbox supports m3u and m3u8 playlists and as long as the paths in the playlist point to the files on the player i don't see a problem. maybe tha chapter in the manual about "working with playlists" has some anwers for you.

i see there coverart is now in the nightly build, is there a wps theme for ipod video that plays nice with it?, none of the wps'es i find work (they don't load - because they expect scrolling margins patch i think). I put cover.bmp's in all my folders though

...You know you're an audio geek when you look at the earbuds in the picture on the "Install Rockbox" wizard and you find that you recognize not only that those are Etymotic ER4s, but they're the old version that are color-coded left-right.

hello, I have a very simple stupid question. I've just installed rockbox on a sansa e260. Everything looks okay, except the next time I plug the mp3 player into the computer (win XP), the add hardware wizard comes up, and cannot add the hardware, so I can't see the drive letter of the mp3 player.

The database stays stuck at the building state. I've wiped the unit and started from scratch by just adding one song and it still has this issue. When building it says that it found 35 items even though there is only 1 song. Any pointers?

desowin: from what I hear it sucks major ass but is not "unuseable" if I just wanted to listen to some music on the plane. And I have little issue testing alpha code as long as I have a low danger of bricking the device.

pixelma: Well, in that case, I'm almost positive that what that .C is is more a demonstration, than a patch submitted for inclusion, or even a patch that does what the user wanted. So I kinda left it as I think it's more "here's some sample code" (which could't been done in a [code][/code] block) than a patch

In some instances, using the text_editor plugin is better than the playlist editor. For example, I wanted to remove a very large segment of the playlist. In the PL editor, I would have had to do a long select, then remove, many times. In the text_editor, I simply selected a line, then cut it. Select the next line, cut it, and keep doing that. It was much faster, and I didn't need to worry about accidently playing the selected file.

ok....now the unit has no songs on it all. When i select database, it tells me it's not initialized so I initialize it. It then tells me it's updating the database with 27 found (PREV to return). Am I missing something here? lol
